A pair of House Republicans asked special counsel Jack Smith on Friday for records related to his prosecutions of President-elect Donald Trump in a sign that they plan to investigate Smith if the GOP maintains its House majority.

Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) asked Smith in a letter to provide them with all communications between the Department of Justice and the White House regarding the Trump cases and information about the FBI’s involvement in them.

They also told Smith to make certain nothing they requested was deleted, saying they were “concerned” that Smith’s office “may attempt to purge relevant records, communications, and documents.”

“The Office of Special Counsel is not immune from transparency or above accountability for its actions,” Jordan and Loudermilk wrote.

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith plans to step down along with other members of his team before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing sources.

Smith brought two of the cases against Trump, one involving classified documents Trump kept after leaving office and the other involving his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss. A Florida-based federal judge in July dismissed the documents case. The Justice Department is now evaluating how to wind down Smith's election-related case.

The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.

Smith's goal is to not leave any significant part of his work for others to complete , the report added.
